Now this is service with a smile! The first place in a longtime where we felt pampered. What a great location to stay and the staff is definitely 5 star, North American Style. I wouldn't rent a car and park, but some great walking opportunities for sure. The rooms are very small, but wonderful bathroom and shower.Great stay,Ovishunter.

Room Tip: Front rooms face the canal, which is nice.

An extremely beautiful property which is elegantly decorated and In a convenient location. Staff were very friendly, however, we did feel there were several service lapses for a hotel of this quality. Our bags took more than 20 minutes to be delivered (most bags, except one which they forgot and was brought up in 30 minutes or so). When calling several times from the room I was on hold for 5 minutes, and no one answered the phone (tried 3-4 times), so I had to finally go down to the reception. Also, when we returned at 3:30pm from a day of walking around the city we found that our room had not been made up, despite the "make up my room" light being left on. Every time I raised these issues the manager in charge seemed to offer up a reason...it was very busy and bell boy doubles up as the concierge sometimes (there was a concierge during the day, who was very helpful). With regards to the room not being serviced, the manager explained that there was misunderstanding as I had requested to see the other rooms (each room is different and I was offered a different room, however I said I would let them know if I would like to move). So found the staff to be helpful, but the managers to be not very responsive. Drinks at the bar were great, but the breakfast selection is extremely limited and basic.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you so much to have taken the time to write a review about your recent stay at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam. We are happy to hear that you have enjoyed the location and interior of the hotel. Delivering the bags to your room should not have taken this long and therefore we apologize, this is definitely not according to Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam standards. The same goes for the not answering of the phone and being on hold for five minutes, it is simply unacceptable to us and we are looking into how this might have happened. Your feedback is valued and the different challenges will be discussed during our management meetings, we will use it to our advantage to learn and improve. We do hope to welcome you back at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam to show what True Waldorf Service is supposed to be.

Warmest regards,

Roberto PayerGeneral Manager

My son and I stayed for three nights at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel recently. We were pleasantly surprised; it proved to be beyond our expectations, making our visit to Amsterdam a pleasure.

The hotel location, on Herrengraft Street, one of the most prestigious avenues of the city, minutes away from Rembrandt Plaza, is located so close to most of the attractions we wanted to visit.

The professionalism, the well appointed rooms, and the public areas were a joy to the senses. From the first contact for reservations, all our questions and requests were handled in a friendly and correct manner. We felt as though the entire staff were awaiting our arrival. Boo and Hetia at reception, were perfectly courteous.

On our way to the hotel, we noticed we had lost our passports and money. We contacted the hotel immediately. We were offered assistance in going to the police and notifying the proper authorities. Special thanks to security consultant, Martin Schmid, who diligently solved an important issue for us.

Courtesy, smiles, as well as pampering, were given at the highest levels, all were pleasant intelligent and reassuring. The breakfast waiters were polite, as well as attentive, as it was the case with any other small requests which were handled promptly, with an elegant touch. Fabulous hotel.

This is a truly beautiful hotel perfectly situated in the centre of Amsterdam. We arrived on Wednesday 20th August for a 3 night stay. Our bags were whisked away, we were checked in by a lovely lady called Bo, who then proceeded to take us on a tour of the hotel before escorting us to our room (yes our luggage was already waiting).

Our room was absolutely lovely. A separate sitting area, large flat screen tv plus a DVD player. Kettle and coffee maker plus mini-bar. Large double bed, single bed for our 11 year old daughter and another flat screen tv. Then we discovered a large walk-in wardrobe, safe etc, then another wardrobe for my husband. The bathroom was simply beautiful, underfloor heating, large bath, double sinks, lovely products, plenty of white fluffy towels and a large walk-in shower. Whilst in the bath you can watch tv (yes a 3rd TV in the bathroom). The bed was very comfortable and you can choose your pillow type.

The hotel is elegantly yet comfortably furnished. Beautiful flowers throughout (including a lovely arrangement in our room). Plenty of staff in evidence, always on hand to make your stay that bit more special. We were able to book local restaurants (all excellent) and could purchase tickets for the Van Gogh museum through the hotel (Amsterdam is a busy city so pre-purchase your tickets where possible). The concierge service ( Jasper & Richard) recommended 3 very different restaurants, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We always received a warm welcome back to the hotel from our trips out from Martin and his team. Being loaned a umbrella (thank you Martin) proved most useful on the one rainy day.

We booked on a bed and breakfast basis (definitely book for breakfast). Beautiful choice of cooked breakfast (excellent poached eggs), plus the little pastries and muffins (delicious). Our daughter especially enjoyed the freshly cooked waffles on the 1st morning, although on day 2 she discovered the pancakes. My daughter described the pancakes as heavenly! They were served with chocolate sauce, maple syrup and whipped cream. They are an extra at 10 euros but so worth it. She was delighted! Fruit, yoghurt, strawberry jam and every table had a little jar of honey. Perfect to pour over some fruit and yoghurt.

The chap who welcomed us to the breakfast room (sorry I don't know your name) was so very pleasant and was happy to accommodate us. All the hotel staff were very friendly and always ready with a greeting and a smile.

We would definitely be happy to recommend this hotel. It maybe a little more expensive than some of the others but worth every penny. Amsterdam is perfect for a mini-break, lots to do but having the perfect hotel really adds to the experience and makes it special. Yes we will be back.

Room Tip: Our room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the canal at the front. Some rooms are canal side and oth...

Gorgeous new property in a fantastic location - walk to almost anything one would want/need (boutique shops, bars, restaurants, vondelpark (120 acre park perfect for running)). Quiet part of the neighborhood. Staff is fabulous - attentive, friendly and open to every request.

We had a great stay in Amsterdam. The Waldorf is very well located and the staff and food was exceptional. Some have commented on the austerity of the hotel which I don't understand. While modern and styled, they have maintained much of the character of the original canal houses. Would certainly stay there again.
